RB GameFinishers/WedgePerformance Review - 705whp/670tq!

[135itp]

Hey Guys,

Well here it is!

705.36 - WHP
670.58 - WTQ
30psi tapering to 26.5psi at redline
E40 w/ ProMeth PI

Been a long time coming but here is my build and review.

Will make it as short as possible for easy and quick reading, right to the point.

Tuner:
WedgePerformance
- Tuning process is very easy and he had me dialed in on multiple maps, most of the time 3 revisions, the 700whp tune took 6 revisions. This is my 2nd set of upgraded twins with Ken. Zero complaints. Car is always a rocket once he is done. Logs always solid. He is a wizard on this platform! Full MHD.

Engine Mods:
09 135i 6spd
- RB Gamefinishers 17T
- RB Inlets/Outlets
- RB External PCV
- ProMeth PI
- Custom made myself, dual 3" to 4" exhaust
- X Clutch Organic Twin Disk
- Burger 7.5" 1000whp Race IC
- Burger 3" CP/Tial BOV
- Fuel It Stage 2 bucketless LPFP
- Fuel It Fuel lines/E sensor
- 150k - very well taken care of
- Bimmer World WPC Rod Bearings - Unopened long block

Just to give you an idea of how it is on the street. 1-3rd gear, useless. 4th gear, ill break traction if conditions arent perfect. I am on 275 Supersports in the rear. Dont plan on changing the set up, i like to keep the car streetable so i will be dialing it back.

All the parts fit just about perfect. No complaints.

The GameFinishers are RBs new product line. Quality is INSANE! Fitment was fantastic. Attached a bunch of pictures before the install.

Thanks to all the vendors and supporting people on this platform. Super happy with the results!

Great work good numbers! Did you use one RB drain and one OEM drain?

Nice result. Any logs of the dyno runs?

Yes

Thanks. How much timing advance?

It’s the red line. 30psi 9.8 @5300RPM. 26-27psi 12.4 @6800-7000ish

Regarding the review of Wedge, I am curious what kind of throttle map he offers. For example do you get almost full power already at 50% accelerator position like we see with some other tuners?

Here are examples of logs I did with two different throttle maps:

With throttle map "A" I get 2psi with 60% accelerator: https://datazap.me/u/asbjoern/v43l-55?log=0&data=2-3-4-21
With throttle map "B" I get 10psi with 40% accelerator: https://datazap.me/u/asbjoern/40?log=0&data=2-3-4-21

Hi, just a quick note to say that I am running a very similar set up and was previously also using SuperSports on the rear (285). I had exactly the same problems even with LSD. I can tell you that these tyres are not good enough for this level of performance, they just can't take it. I swapped to 18" wheels for more sidewall with 265/35 semi slicks - transformed the car. Full traction in third in the dry, on a hot day it's not far off gripping in second. Transformed the car I highly recommend looking in to it. Supersports don't cut it at this level.

I appreciate that a lot, thank you! I do need new rears very soon so I'm already shopping.

Currently, I have 245/40/18 front. 275/35/18 rear.

Nice results, definitely going to go with RB GF when my turbo lab hybrids go out although I won't be going for this much HP

hard to read the log but what was your wgdc for the run?

hard to read the log but what was your wgdc for the run?

at 30psi it was 53%. 6500+ was 63%
80 degrees and humid on july 3rd in the north east too

Sounds like theres a little more left in them if you want to push them. but with that wgdc looks very healthy for those turbos. what fueling are you running? 93 with straight meth through PI?
